What New Is
The ICA’s celebrity speaker series engages some of the most profound, prescient and creative thinkers, artists, authors and practitioners of our time.

Lucky audiences saw STREB open the new ICA’s performance program to deafening applause in 2006.

She joins theoretical physicist Brian Greene for a conversation about space, time and movement. Uncover the different approaches of a supreme scientist and an extreme action practitioner. What questions do they seek to answer, and how alarming are their discoveries? Tickets $25; $20 members, students and seniors.
